What do we mean by information? and there can be non-information? how it would like?

The speed of light in this case is better called the speed of causality. So for any 2 objects to be causally connected they cant be further apart than over a given time period than light could travel in that given time period. In other words you cant have a cause and effect relationship between objects that haven’t had time to communicate with each other. If you were on the moon and I shined a laser at you, you couldn’t know that I have done so until the light reaches you.

Information can be inferred as anything that can have this causal relationship.
